You'd expect a hard-ass game show from Spike, and you'd be right. The network for testosterone types of all ages from 15 to 25 has ordered twenty eps of Repo Games from the producers of - what else? - Jersey Shore.The network says the show's concept is Cops meets Jeopardy. No, Alex doesn't get hauled off to the hoosegow. What happens is that two repo men give a debtor one last chance to keep his about-to-be-repossessed auto. If the debtor can't answer three of five trivia questions correctly, off goes the car. If he knows his trivia, the debt is forgiven on the spot.
Maybe we could take this format to hospital emergency rooms. Got a broken leg, buddy? We'll fix it and give you five hundred bucks if you can tell me who the president of Ukraine is.
Oh, I shouldn't give Spike ideas.
